I have same problem too that often slide out the screen.
I solved it by using rubber-bands on the both edge of the screen, telling/braking my finger to stop slide out.

No. To both. Says price and asks for payment, also there's nothing on my purchase history. Empty.

Fiancee and I went to Starbucks this morning and I grabbed a handful of new codes!
SpellTower is the new Pick of the Week! Woo! Play Boggle TO THE EXTREME! It's pretty excellent if you dig word games (I suck at them).
I have 8 codes here. Quote to reveal and enjoy!
E: Apparently all taken.

What do you think?
Of course I am. That was the first thing I checked. Also, my prices are in USD on the iPad (I'm from europe so they should be in Euros, as they are on my iphone and have always been on my Pad prior to this day).infiniteloop

What do you think?
I'd log out and back in on the iPad.

Just got back from work so I didn't have time to play anything but the tutorial, I'll post my impressions here
Holy wow! Looks great! I think I need to pick up MC3 now, been on the fence about it.

I hope Rayman gets updated soon, because there is a bug in the game when it runs on the iPhone 5 (it runs at 480 x 320)
If MC3 is still 99c then you should grab it asap, it's easily the best FPS on iOS.

That's cool Starbucks is giving away codes for SpellTower. Great puzzle game.
Just got it. Only $1 so I figured why not!
It's really fantastic. I'm gonna gift a copy to a friend who I think would enjoy it
Buy it now!! It's a great game, suprised you weren't on it when it first came out, iOS-gaf was all over that game, spell tower should rank high on the new iOS rankings coming out.
Bought Spell Tower when I first got my iPad. Its a wonderful word game. Beautiful menus and layout, and great game modes.
Hopefully within a couple months

I just switched over to JP iTunes for the first time in a while, and I may have made a rather appalling discovery about Demons' Score:
US version: $6.99, but game content locked behind IAPs; game content IAP total cost is $39.91, pushing total cost of ownership to $46.90.
JP version: 1500 yen ($19.22 in today's currency), no game content IAPs.
Even after having paid the base cost of the US version, it would still cost me less money to rebuy the whole game on JP iTunes twice than I would spend purchasing the US version's IAP unlocks.
Can someone with the Japanese version confirm this?
EDIT: A poster at TouchArcade who resides in Japan confirms this to be true. Apparently I'm not the first to discover the pricing discrepancy either; this post was made four days ago. Also amended cost of US version; originally understated.

Don't really care to dig into this much right now but at least TWEWY looks priced about the same regardless of region.
Also just confirmed switching iOS to Japanese doesn't change the spoken language of Demons' Score (though many onscreen language elements do change) and doesn't get rid of the IAPs, so it really is just a totally different binary. I'm also hearing the Japanese voice cast is amazing, so the standing recommendation might be to just import the game and not bother with the international version at all.

It switched developers to Impossible Studios just this summer, so it might not be out until next year. I'm not sure what happened, really; I understand that Impossible needed something to work on, but it seemed to be coming together fairly well based on the impressions from the preview builds.

This means Chair is developing Shadow Complex 2, right? right?!
Why not just have the biggest games of the month with thumbnails and a description and then a list of the lesser games?

Boom. Although even that could be a bit too complex. Really, it depends on who is doing the thread as to how they want to present it IMO. As long as the OP is updated on a weekly basis for that month I say anything goes. A formula will probably set in eventually anyway.
You people here realise we are plotting the death of the iOS megathread. Shed a tear...
its not plotting the death of the megathread if we do a recap of the previous month. because then we can just put all the initial effort in and not worry about updating it weekly, and equally it won't take away from new releases and this thread. it would just serve more of a 'hey this is some of the cool shit thats come out if you don't pay attention much to GAF/IOS gaming'.
also i just think we should give more priority to original games than ports. obvs if a good port comes out like sonic cd then that should get some attention, but id rather push original games rather than a "hey this is device is port-central'

Finally got around to playing asphalt 7 and it's such an improvement over the other games again, but it's making me get annoyed at my ipad 3 yet again too.
it uses for what I can tell the old iPad res in races and at a choppy 30fps too, i'll be so happy when apple stick an A6X in the next ipad, the current ipad is just not built for fast 3D gaming imo.

Sky Go doesn't work is about the only problem I've had.
I'm super pumped for this! keep it up (source is from a steam screenshot????)

You reckon? I think that if we have a monthly thread, there will be discussions of that month's releases in there. And since people will be talking, older games will come up too. And at that point there is no need for a rambling megathread any more.
Maybe it'll get moved to community instead? But I still don't see a use for it any more.
It's like the comics threads. There is a monthly thread where we talk about anything and everything comics. It would be redundant for there to be a catch-all comics thread too.
I'm not that fussed on the ports issue. Personally, I haven't played every game ever (shocker I know) - therefore a port that I've not played is simply a new game, as deserving of my time as any other. Baldur's Gate for example. I never played it, so it's simply a rad new game that I'm excited about.
What would be cool would be if devs started making original games with the scope of the better ports we've been seeing.
